Are all these libraries really required? Putting them into a linker line causes a huge overlinking adding lots of unneeded direct dependencies to rpm packages.
I remember finding also that it added too much unneeded deps, but I had a look and a random subset of these library were indeed used by gnome applications and libraries that was installed on my computer at that time.
